Right Upper Extremity Idiopathic Primary Lymphedema in a 2-Year-Old Child

Abstract

Lymphedema of an extremity at birth can be an alarming finding. Our patient presented with difficulty breathing and productive cough and was found to have primary lymphedema of the right upper extremity since birth. Further testing was mostly unremarkable except for imaging that revealed many splenic lesions.
